The pKa of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, page 55) is 4.17, showing that it is slightly more acidic than acetic acid (CH3COOH, pKa 4.74). Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.
The C-H bond in acetone, (CH3)C=O, has a pką of 19.2. Draw two resonance structures for its
conjugate base. Then, explain why acetone is much more acidic than propane, CH;CH,CH3 (pKa = 50).

4. The pk, of vanillin is about 9, which is much more acidic than a normal alcohol. Draw a
reaction showing the deprotonation of vanillin with NaOH, and then draw six resonance
structures of the conjugate base. Draw the hybrid structure and clearly indicate how the
negative charge is distributed in the compound.

- Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e.

- Ammonia, NH3, is also a weak base with K, = 1.8x10-5. Which of the following is the best explanation for why triethylamine is a stronger base than ammonia? O The three ethyl groups on triethylamine are more electronegative than the hydrogens on ammonia and make triethylamine a stronger base. The hydrogens on ammonia are more electronegative than the ethyl groups on triethylamine, making ammonia a weaker base than triethylamine. The three ethyl groups on triethylamine that replace hydrogens on ammonia are electron rich and donate electron density to the N making triethylamine a stronger base. The question as stated is incorrect, ammonia is a stronger base than triethylamine because of the bigger lone pair of electrons on the N of ammonia compared to the N on triethylamine.arrow_forward2,4-Pentanedione is a considerably stronger acid than is acetone (Chapter 19).
